⚖️Our Editorial Standards
Accuracy First
Every piece of information we publish must be accurate, verified, and based on reliable sources. We take accuracy seriously because we know our readers make important decisions based on what they read here.
Our Accuracy Checklist:
- All facts verified from multiple authoritative sources
- Statistics and data cited with original sources
- Quotes accurately attributed and confirmed
- Financial figures double-checked and current
- Links to external sources provided for verification
- Nigerian context and local relevance confirmed
Honesty and Transparency
We write in a real, human voice because we're talking to real people facing real challenges. We don't hide behind corporate language or inflate claims. If something didn't work for us or our readers, we say so.
When we share success stories, we include the full picture—the struggles, failures, and lessons learned. When we recommend products or services, we explain exactly why and disclose any relationships we have with those companies.
Experience-Based Expertise
The foundation of Daily Reality NG is real experience. Founder Samson Ese has been building online businesses in Nigeria since 2016 and has helped over 4,000 Nigerians start making money online. Every strategy, tool, or method we recommend has been tested in the Nigerian context.
E-E-A-T Compliance: We follow Google's Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness (E-E-A-T) guidelines. Every article is written by or reviewed by someone with real experience in the topic covered.
Cultural Relevance
We understand the Nigerian context—the economic realities, cultural nuances, infrastructure challenges, and unique opportunities. We don't copy-paste advice from American or European sources without adapting it to what actually works here.
Whether discussing solar power investment, freelancing platforms, or personal finance, we consider Nigerian realities like unstable power supply, naira volatility, limited payment options, and local business practices.
✓Our Fact-Checking Process
Every article published on Daily Reality NG goes through a rigorous fact-checking process to ensure accuracy and reliability.
Step 1: Research & Verification
Writers research topics using authoritative sources including government websites (CBN, NBS, NITDA), established Nigerian newspapers (Vanguard, Punch, ThisDay), international trusted publications, and verified industry reports.
Step 2: Source Evaluation
We evaluate source credibility by checking: publication reputation, author credentials, publication date, supporting evidence, potential bias, and cross-verification with other sources.
Step 3: Real-World Testing
For practical guides (making money online, business strategies, tools and apps), we test recommendations ourselves or with trusted community members before publishing.
Step 4: Editorial Review
Samson Ese or designated senior editors review all content for accuracy, clarity, fairness, and alignment with editorial standards before publication.
Step 5: Ongoing Monitoring
After publication, we monitor reader feedback, update outdated information, and issue corrections when errors are identified.
